CLARENCE B. COX, OF WILMINGTON, DELAWARE.

OIL-CAN FOB OILSTONE-BOXES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 23, 1909.

Application-filed April 20, 1908. Serial No. 427,989.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CLARENCE B. Cox, a citizen of the United States,residing at lvih n'iingtoin, in the county of Newcastle and State ofDelaware, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Cansfor Oilstone-Boxes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to oil-cans for oilstone boxes, the object beingto provide an oil-can which can be easily and quickly attached to anordinary oilstone box, whereby the stone can be readily oiled.

Another object of my invention is to provide an oil-can which is soconstructed and connected to the box that by simply pressing on abutton, the oil will be forced out of the same on to the stone.

Another object of my invention is to provide the oil-can with a spoutwhich is so constructed that a certain amount of oil will be retained inthe same at all times, so that when open the oil will pass readily outon to the stone.

A further object of my invention is to provide the top of the can with aeoncavo-convex flexible top adapted to be forced downwardly so as toallow the spout to be opened.

Another object of my invention is to provide a very novel cap forclosing the spout.

These objects are obtained by the novel arrangement and construction ofparts hereinafter fully described and shown in the accompanyingdrawings, in which:

Figure 1, is a longitudinal section through an oilstone box with myimproved oil-can in position. Fig. 2, is a transverse section throughthe same.

In the drawings A, indicates a box provided with a hinged cover B, forinclosing the oilstone G, arranged therein. The under side of the top ofthe cover is concavo-convex, and is provided with a central opening B,for the purpose hereinafter fully described; it of course, beingunderstood, that the top can be formed with a flat under face ifdesired. Arranged within the cover is an oil-can D, provided with earsD, through which screws are adapted to pass for securing the same inposition. The can is provided with a concavo-convex flexible top Dhaving a central button D adapted to extend through the opening B, ofthe top. The bottom of the can is provided with an opening E, surroundedby the annular enl largement E of the spout E, extending downwardlytherefrom, and through which extends a rod F. carried by the button Dwhich extends out through the spout, and is provided with a threaded end011 which is mounted a cap G, carrying a washer G, adapted to benormally held up against the end of the spout by a coil spring H,arranged within the can around the rod F, which forces the flexible topupwardly after it has been forced downwardly by the button.

It will be seen that when it is desired to oil the stone, it is onlynecessary to press the button slightly which will t'orce the flexibletop downwardly, and at the same time force the cap G, downwardly fromover the spout, so as to allow the oil to pass out of the same over thecap on the stone, and when the but ton is released, the spring H, willforce the top of the can upwardly into its normal position, at the sametime closing the spout, when the spout is compressed the oil within thecan is under pressure so that it will be forced out of the spout whenthe cap is open.

The can is provided with a screw cap I, for filling the same, and itwill be seen that it is only necessary to remove the cover and invertthe same when it is desired to refill the can.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that I have providedanoil can which is very cheap in construction and one which can bereadily attached to an oil-stone box.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is 1. The combination with an oilstone box, ofan oil-can secured within the cover of the box provided with a flexibleresilient top, a button formed with the top extending out through anopening in the cover and movable with said flexible top, a spout formedin the bottom of the can and a rod carried by the button extendingthrough the spout provided with a cap for closing said spout.

2. The combination with an oilstone box provided with a cover having acentral opening, of an oil-can provided with ears for securing it withinthe cover, a button raised upon the top of the can formed in one piecetherewith and extending through the opening of the cover, a spoutprovided with an annular enlargement extending downwardly from thebottom of the can, and a rod carried by the button extending through thespout provided with a cap for closing the spout.

3. The combination with an oilstone box provided with a cover having acentral opening, of an oil-can secured within the cover provided with aflexible concavo-c onvex top, a button raised upon the top formed in onepiece therewith and extending out through the opening of the cover andmovable with said flexible top, a spout extending downwardly from thebottom of the can, a rod carried by the button extending downwardlythrough the can and a spout provided with a threaded lower end, a coilspring surrounding said rod between the bottom and top of the can and acap provided with a washer mounted on the lower end of said rod forclosing said spout.

at. The combination with an oilstone box provided with a cover having acentral openin of an oil-can secured within the cover a) provided with aflexlble concavo-convex top,

a button formed on said top and extending up through the opening of thecover and movable with said flexible top, an annular flange downwardlyextending from the bottom of the oil-can inwardly contracted and formedwith a central contracted spout, a rod passing through the can attachedat its upper end to the top of the can and havin its lower end extendedout through sai spout and carrying a stopper for closing the lower endof the spout, and a coil spring surrounding said rod between the bottomand top of the can, said can being provided with an inward opening witha screw closure thereto.

In testimony whereof I have signed my
